Nature Walk

What a busy day we have had!

Fun with numbers and counting

Matching objects and checking amounts. Recognising numerals and developing an understanding of more and less. Wow!

Well done, Liliana! Super matching and counting objects in a set.

Ordering by size and carefully counting and matching to correct numeral. Excellent!

Great work here! Ordering numerals 0- 5 then 0 - 10 and finding the missing numbers. Well done!

WOW!  Independent problem solving. You worked out that you wanted to use the cones 1 and the 0 for number 10. We need to make another number 1, don't we?

Miss B says "Well done to Hayden for super counting and computer work."

Miss J says "Fantastic counting Umsha and you are trying hard to recognise numerals too!"

"Sami has been busy writing numerals at home."

Mrs H is very impressed with how Lewis and Kabir are helping others to solve problems and use number knowledge in many areas of learning. Miss B has noticed such increased confidence here too!

Mrs D has noticed how nursery friends are trying so hard with singing rhymes to help with counting. Well done!

Some fantastic counting and writing numerals. 

Messy mark making

Look at our mark making using all sorts of different media, including: mixing colours onto a surface and creating patterns, drawing and writing...

European Day of Languages

Nursery and Reception will be taking part in activities related to Denmark. We will be learning some words in Danish. See if you can dress in red and white on Friday for this special day.

Miss B and EYFS Team

What a busy day we had with Reception Class!

Making necklaces, mark making, making flags and Danish pastries. Such fun!

We learnt the words to the song: Head, shoulders...in Danish and some words for hello, bye, yes, no, happy and sad. We also enjoyed watching the alphabet and number song. 

We also enjoyed sharing a famous story, written by a Danish author called: The Ugly Duckling.

PHOTOS to view on Nursery notice board - coming soon...!

Listening Walk

Today we went on a Listening Walk around school, inside and outside.

We listened carefully and heard all sorts of sounds, including:

An aeroplane, birds singing, coughing, footsteps, shouting, a car, a refuse truck, a clanging sound, trucks, keys jingling, sound from keys typing, a telephone and people talking and laughing.

Some sounds were quiet and others were loud.

Afterwards we worked in pairs whilst playing a game of Sounds Lotto. We listened carefully to the sounds and if we heard a sound pictured on our board, we covered it with a counter.

Then we talked about the sounds we liked, such as: a cat, a piano, a bouncing ball and a motorbike and sounds we didn't like, such as: thunder and lightning, shouting and a dog barking.

Lovely listening!
